 You simply can't put a foot wrong with a Pacific Coast Hemlock floor. It's unmatched for the way it looks. The way it feels. The way it performs. The wood not only delivers wall to wall warmth, "its built-in resilience stands up to the heaviest traffic." Better yet, Pacific Coast Hemlock hardens with age, creating an even tougher, mar-resistant surface. No other wood will go to greater lengths to please. With many other woods used in floors, the longest length is around 6 feet, but with Pacific Coast Hemlock, up to 20 foot lengths are readily available. Floor lengths like these are particularly impressive in large, open-plan rooms. Not only long... wide too! Some specialty wood flooring companies offer planks as wide as 8 inches - unheard of in most hardwoods. Pacific Coast Hemlock offers many choices to the floor designer. Grain options range from straight-edge grain to the more random-patterned flat grains. Also, one can alternate 3-3/4" with 5" widths for a more handmade character. Hemlock is very versatile. |

 Whether used throughout or as a feature wall, Pacific Coast Hemlock can accent plain drywall and concrete with a beautiful, rich finish. Designers can choose to retain the golden warmth of the wood's natural colour, or let it strike a bolder note by capitalizing on Pacific Coast Hemlock's ability to accept opaque paint and other finishes easily. The qualities of Pacific Coast Hemlock go more than skin deep. The wood's inherent strength, resistance to bruising, and easy maintenance, make it a practical choice for high-use areas in homes, offices, and public buildings. Particularly practical and pleasing is Hemlock wainscotting - a decorative design feature that also protects the lower part of the wall from the knocks and scrapes of everyday living. Anywhere it's used, Pacific Coast Hemlock's ready acceptance of fire retardants complies with the strictest safety standards. |

 Light, fine grained Pacific Coast Hemlock applies the appeal of natural wood to conventional ceilings without creating a top-heavy decor. Its natural, blonde tones are brought out beautifully when highlighted by subtle lighting effects. As with floors, the wood offers architects and designers the advantages of long, clear lengths that contribute to the sense of spaciousness and depth in an interior. |
 From top to bottom, Pacific Coast Hemlock is the smart choice for stairs. Craftsmen delight in its hard, tight grain that machines to a perfectly smooth finish. And its colour uniformity means all stair components - handrail, spindles, newel posts and treads - can be matched easily. The exceptional lengths available in Pacific Coast Hemlock are ideal for handrails that can run anywhere up to 16 feet. Long, clear lengths like this would be difficult to find in any other wood. |
